Simply taking exams and looking at the scores will do little to improve your performance. Instead, you need to spend time reviewing each test you take to understand what you did wrong and what you need to do to get better. Without that understanding, your score is unlikely to get better on the next test.<\/p>\n<p>Even if you do review your test every day, that\u2019s still about six or more hours of studying in one day. That can get exhausting and potentially lead to burnout. Plus, it leaves little or no time to focus on practicing on any specific concepts that troubled you on the exam. If you know what\u2019s giving you trouble and you don\u2019t take the time to work on it, then it\u2019s probably going to give you trouble on the next exam, too.<\/p>\n<p>You can\u2019t always assume that problems will just fix themselves from one test to the next. That\u2019s why you need to take an extra day or two between tests to work on concepts individually \u2013 whether it be specific question types or improving pacing within one particular section.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><footer class=\"entry-footer\"><\/footer><\/article><div class='iconlist-timeline'><\/div><\/li>\n<li><div  class='iconlist_icon  avia-font-entypo-fontello'><span class='iconlist-char ' aria-hidden='true' data-av_icon='\ue816' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello'><\/span><\/div><article class=\"article-icon-entry \"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='iconlist_content_wrap'><header class=\"entry-content-header\"><h4 class='av_iconlist_title iconlist_title   '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >Don\u2019t work on only the most challenging questions.<\/h4><\/header><div class='iconlist_content  '  itemprop=\"text\"  ><p>The more challenging the questions, the more likely you are to get those questions wrong. Sure, it\u2019s great when you get those questions right. However, getting them wrong is still frustrating \u2013 even if they are more difficult. And, if you get too many wrong, you lose sight of what\u2019s important \u2013 all the questions you would get right.<\/p>\n<p>You have to remember that your score is dependent on getting questions right, not just getting hard questions right. If you focus only on the stuff giving you trouble, you\u2019ll have a hard time building momentum and you\u2019re more likely to enter the test discouraged about your weaknesses rather than encouraged by all the progress you\u2019ve made. Spend some time reviewing your strengths and make sure that you end your studying on a positive note. Nobody wants to go into Test Day having blown the last question in practice.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><footer class=\"entry-footer\"><\/footer><\/article><div class='iconlist-timeline'><\/div><\/li>\n<li><div  class='iconlist_icon  avia-font-entypo-fontello'><span class='iconlist-char ' aria-hidden='true' data-av_icon='\ue816' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello'><\/span><\/div><article class=\"article-icon-entry \"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='iconlist_content_wrap'><header class=\"entry-content-header\"><h4 class='av_iconlist_title iconlist_title   '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >Don\u2019t study hard the day before the test.<\/h4><\/header><div class='iconlist_content  '  itemprop=\"text\"  ><p>It\u2019s okay to take some time early in the day to get in some last minute review or work on a few strengths to give yourself a confidence boost. However, by the time dinner is done, the books should be hidden and all you should be worried about is making sure you have everything you need for day ahead \u2013 your pencils, your admissions ticket, directions, etc. Don\u2019t let the day before the test be stressful in any way, shape or form. Relax. You\u2019ve put in a lot of hard work.
